35* Timing Issue

[leprecaun96]

Hi all,Im looking for any suggestions to a slight problem i discovered yesterday...Finally got around to a routine checking my valve timing, i have a decent light and managed to hook up to the loop wire at the bulkhead, discon the tps, etc...thing was the timing appeared to be way off the clock. I set it to where it should have been (15-17*) and it was running major rich!!Ive had to return it to where it was and everything is running goodish again. Would anyone have any ideas as to what the hell is going on?

the best way to check the timing is to put a spark plug wire between the coil and the plug. if you do this i bet you will find that your timing was probably right on before you adjusted it. Look at the last 2 posts in this threadhttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=257459
